  • What are some differences between PSE8 and PSE11?

    MY CURRENT HARDWARE:
    MacBook Pro (model: MacBookPro2,2)  Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB int. HDD
    Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner, USB 2 connection
    Canon Digital Rebel T3 SLR camera, 18-55mm kit lens, 75-300mm telephoto lens, 4 GB SDHC card
    Canon Vixia HV40  HDV tape-based camcorder
    MY CURRENT SOFTWARE:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, with Adobe Bridge CS4
    Apple Final Cut Studio 3 (includes Final Cut Pro 7)
    Apple iLife 2009 (includes iPhoto)
    Recently, people in my hometown began planning an event of local historic significance. A group of elderly men who worked on a major industrial project (steel fabrication in a local shop) here are about to go on a bus trip to see some of their work. Most have never journeyed the hundreds of miles to see what became of their efforts. Some of these men are veterans of WW II and Korea, just to give you an idea of their age. The bus tour is expected to happen in mid-November.
    Typically, I shoot photos in JPEG format and catalogue all photos in iPhoto 2009. However, for this occasion, given it is a once-in-a-lifetime event, I am seriously thinking about switching my Rebel over to RAW format. I want to approach this trip as a project with the end-product being archival quality storage of the images I capture. To catalogue the photos, I was seriously thinking about borrowing a few pages from Peter Krogh's book "Digital Asset Management for Photographers" (2009, 2nd Edition, O'Reilly Press). I recently had a chance to skim the book over, and noticed a chapter on how to structure a workflow using RAW-format photos using Adobe Bridge. I have briefly thought of purchasing Lightroom, but that's too rich for my bank account. Since I have the Rebel (given to me as a gift about 13 months ago), the MacBook Pro and Photoshop Elements with Bridge, some questions came to mind:
    (1: I am considering either using Photoshop Elements 8 with bundled Bridge CS4 to handle the RAW files (and to possibly store them as DNG files) or upgrading to Photoshop Elements 11 to do the same. This would stretch my budget. Does Photoshop Elements 11 come bundled with Bridge anymore? If so, is it functional for what I want to do with it?
    (2: Does anyone on this forum use Bridge to handle RAW files? If so, are there any online tutorials/demonstrations you would recommend?
    (3: I assume it would be fairly easy to take all RAW files of photos shot on the trip, transfer them into Bridge CS4, and then convert them into JPEGs so they could be imported into a iPhoto library (now standing at over 46,000 photos). Are there any obstacles/possible problems in this transfer process I should look out for? (I would be worried about what would happen to the metadata)
    (4: If I store the RAW photos from this trip as DNG files using Bridge, and if I subsequently purchase newer software such as the latest Lightroom or CS6, will I be able to open up this trip's archive in the newer software without loosing any metadata or organization?
    (5: I have been viewing the photography tutorials on Lynda.com, including the titles taught by photographer Ben Long. Mr. Long did a title on the Digital Rebel T3i, which is very similar to my Rebel T3, as well as his "Shooting on the Road, from Gear to Workflow". Are there any other Lynda titles I should review while my account is still active?
    (6: What's up with this Photoshop Elements / Premiere Elements bundle? Does anyone here use it? If so, what are the advantages over the Photoshop Elements upgrade?

    Well, we've been back from Saint Louis for over a month now. Sorry for the delay in reporting this.

    Arch builders see work first hand
    http://www.ksdk.com/news/article/347752/3/Arch-builders-see-work-first-hand
    This video shows an excerpt of a small number of the PDM crew visiting the Arch for the first time, at sunrise. (We arrvied by bus this night before.)
    An update on my Photoshop Elements experience. Adobe's DNG converter and Photoshop Elements' batch converter both worked like a charm. I was able to take the CR2 files from the Rebel, convert them to DNG, and then use PSE 8 to batch-convert them to JPEG. I impported the JPEGs into iPhoto 2009 with the date/time metadata intact.
    I have yet to open any of the files in Adobe Camera RAW, but I want to do that after the New Year. I'm tied up with other work right now and don't have the time.
    Here's a little something extra to show you how remarkable this trip was:

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

    You can try contacting apple customer service http://www.apple.com/contact but usually all app purchases are final and not refundable.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

    Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

    Don't know why you would.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

  • Ipod touch or ipad 4th gen?

    Torn between the 5th gen ipod touch and the  4th gen ipad. The main reason i would go for the ipod is easy portability and the fact that it fits in your pocket  (take anywhere) but the ipad has faster performance and a bigger screen. Help me out !?

    The iPad mini and 5G iPod have the same processor so speed is essentially the same. The iPad has optional cellular connection. The iPad can take panoramic photos while the iPod can't.
    To me it really depends if yo want the smaller device or you want the larger screen.

  • What are the differences between iPod 2nd and 3rd Generation models?

    Hi:
    I have a couple questions about the differences between some of the iPod Touch models:
    1) What is the difference between the *2nd Gen 8GB iPod touch* and the *3rd Gen 8GB iPod touch?*
    2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
    Thanks!

    none, really.
    2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
    the 32 & 64 GB models have advanced hardware components. 32GB and 64GB Touches gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics for games that capitalize on OpenGL 2.0 - and features like Voice Control.

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

    when i want to synce my ipod touch itunes remove my apps what should i do?

    Well, there's the problem... iDevices cannot sync with multiple computers.
    The device and iTunes are doing exactly what they are designed to do.
    Did all the apps on the device come from your friends computer?  If so, there is no way to sync with your computer and maintain the apps that do not belong to you.

  • I found someone's ipod touch at a walmart in my area, and would like to know how to find this person? There is a passcode lock on it.

    I found someone's ipod touch at a walmart in my area, and would like to know if there is any way to locate this person? The ipod is locked.

    The only other thing you can do is to take the iPod to a place with unsecured wi-fi (like a starbucks) or temporarily turn off the security on your own wi-fi router (be sure that all your wi-fi devices are turned off when do this).  On the off chance that the owner has activiated the iCloud Find My iPod service s/he could send you a message on how to contact him.  Most people forget to set this up, so a contact is unlikely; but it is possible.
